176-acre farm sells for €1.975m

More than 100 people were present at Corrin Mart, Fermoy, yesterday to witness the €1.975m sale of a residential farm near Blarney, Co Cork.

The 176-acre holding at Dawstown was auctioned off after three generations of ownership by the Applebe family, in a retirement sale.

The property is well-known as a location for point-to-point races for many years.
